As of recent Kanye has adopted a style of using roughs and demo versions of his or other vocals and using those instead of a cleaner finished version. He has stated it makes it seem more pure and authentic, even if some things aren’t polished and or even coherent, for example the opening vocals.

@Janman81 3 года назад

As someone who has always had a strong preference for hard rock, classic rock, alternative and grunge, I actually really liked this Kanye album. Kids See Ghosts is another project of his that I really enjoy.

@edrichards2317 3 года назад

Great reaction bro, the unpleasant beat and mumbling was indeed orchestrated intentionally to reflect the manic and bipolar episode this album was emulating. This record was initially meant to be a completely different album, but was completely scrapped and remade from scratch within a couple of weeks after the tmz incident. This doesn't scratch the surface of his production back catalogue - check out some cuts like Devil in a New Dress, Roses, New Slaves, Saint Pablo and Family Business

@MaddogJones 3 года назад

this is the very first time I have ever heard any Kanye West song. My nephew has been trying to get me to listen to him for years and has toted him as an amazing artist. I'm getting the feeling that this is about mental health and the vocal and composition seems to mimic some messed up feelings... I could be totally wrong but that's what I'm getting...

@machocheez01 3 года назад

You are right that the song is mostly about mental health and the sound reflects that.This song is part of a batch that was made just after one of Kanye’s manic episodes and he holed himself in a studio in Wyoming and made some projects in a short span of time. On this album Kanye liked to use demo vocals rather than finished lines because he likes the rawness and pure emotion. Most other Kanye projects don’t do this and there isn’t any “mumbling” and are overall more “finished” sounding. Good job picking up on the feelings Kanye was trying to show. Just wanted to add further context to the song.

@ohwni 3 года назад

You are spot on! This entire album is a mental health album… Every album is a different story/chapter of his life.

the intro vocals and the chorus vocals u seemed to dislike were artists PARTYNEXTDOOR and kid cudi, the rest was kanye and 070 shake

@JoaoVictor_18 3 года назад

Nice reaction dude! Thanks for so being open minded ! Kanye west songs are very well produced, i would love to see you react to more of them

@thomasnelson5758 3 года назад

First verse vocals were by a guy named PartyNextDoor, chorus ('I've been trying to make you love me') is by an artist named Kid Cudi, the second verse ('Someday we gon' set it off') is Kanye West, and the outro ('nothing hurts anymore, I feel kind of free') is by an artist named 070 Shake. Cudi's chorus would be a lot better but I also cringe slightly at the bum note he hits on the word 'try' in 'everything I try'. You definitely liked Kanye's vocals a lot more I noticed, he sings more straightforward

@costoncheatham7025 3 года назад

Great job with the assessment of the song. As someone who prefers more R&B, rap, etc., I was not expecting you to even come close to giving it a fair shake. I had a friend of mine send me a country song once (and the twanginess of country music normally drives me crazy), but I absolutely loved it. And I sent her a rap song. She told me that she LOVED it, so it's interesting what we can do if we open up our minds. I think most people listen to a lot of songs and just like them or don't, but they don't pay much attention to the details (why they do or don't like the songs). It's just a simple, "it's pleasing to my ear or not". So it's cool to hear you step through the song and pick out the parts - how it's put together, the instruments used, the blend, the changes, etc. I noticed the one thing that bothered you the most was the mumbling in Kanye's first verse. Now that you know (assume you do by now) that it's by design to simulate his struggle with mental issues like being bipolar, does that change anything in terms of your overall assessment of the song? I really enjoyed your video - was really looking for you to rip it apart, so was really surprised. Thanks for sharing.

@niemamoss2758 3 года назад

@Canyoutakemebackwhereicamefrom 3 года назад

I think the off key bits are purposeful and deliberate. They make you feel some highs and lows. Given his rumoured bi polar diagnosis this isn't surprising. Kanye's music isn't my genre but I quite like this. It seems to have a lot of layers to it.

Though if you ever do react to it make sure to react to the full version of the song, not the music video.

@Ben-oq2bw 3 года назад

I respect your musical knowledge and appreciation for a lot of points on this song, but Kanye's vocals on the verse almost sound raw and it did surprise me a little that you would suggest that he could just be talking and using autotune to pitch it. You can hear a lot of points where he's straining his voice to hit notes and while it isn't technically impressive, I respect how raw and vulnerable it sounds.

@hunterb7549 3 года назад

Lol it’s so crazy the insane bias Kanye has against him as soon as you get out of his musical sphere, dude is not the worst thing ever, and you don’t need to buy into all the media hype, he’s a clown but if you’ve ever truly looked into him he’s actually pretty lovable. And the people calling this mumble rap clearly have never listened to a minute of hip hop in their lives, hearing real mumble rap would be a rude awakening lol. His musical influence this past two decades has been unmatched, that’s borderline undebatable.. doesn’t matter if you don’t like the music he puts out, he’s gonna keep influencing the next generation.

u have to do moreeee kanye his music is so great despite the controversy sorrounding him, some tracks i would reccommend - POWER - probobaly the greatest kanye track ever off of my beautiful dark twisted fantacy Runaway - top 10 kanye track also off of my beautiful dark twisted fantacy Roses - from his second album, and if you enjoy good storytelling this is perfect for you. Freeee (ghost town part 2) - this is the second part to this song you just listened to here (ghost town) Come to life - this song is beautiful, its from his new donda album this is probobaly the best song from it Heartless - this is an song from his album 808s and heartbreak, this is widely known as the album that changed the whole sound of hip hop in 2008 i already know power will get at least a 9 from u, and runaway will probobaly be close too

@Johnny-tz3yd 3 года назад

This song is one of the most haunting Kanye tracks I’ve ever heard, it has such a positive sound but there’s constant stylistic choices that put you on edge. And the line “I put my hand on a stove, to see if I still bleed, and nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free” hits me so hard as there’s been points in my life where I’m devoid of any emotion, sympathy, or general feeling and although I know it’s almost wrong for me to feel that way it’s extremely liberating and I feel unstoppable.

Is this mumble rap? I'm so confused... the moment I have hope in the song he sounds like he did drink "all the wine" and I can't understand a thing. The better bits of the song sound like it might be Kid Kudi (the deeper, richer more audible parts)

@hunterb7549 3 года назад

It’s not mumble rap, it’s raw vocals from Kanye, something you start to experiment with after being a rapper/musician for almost 2 decades.. If you ever hear a leaked unfinished Kanye song, he “mumbles” over the beat to find the rhythm and flow, something a lot of musicians do.. there is a line or two in this song where it’s still reminiscence of the demo track in this song before he had finished the lyrics, a theme in this album is all the songs kinda sound like demos, but it is a stylistic choice for better or worse… if you’d like to hear more polished Kanye he’s got 8-10 full studio albums that are fully polished compared to this one.

@ghfantexas6848 3 года назад

Ok, I totally disagree with David. I didn’t enjoy it at all. You are out of your mind with a 7.7 or whatever it was. I couldn’t wait for this thing to be over. I have heard so much that this guy (Kanye) is a genius. At what? The two points David brought up about the nasal and mumbling....I don’t get. What purpose did it serve? Certainly not for enjoyment. “Let me see how bad I can sound and people still will lap it up.” The best part was probably the music track, and even it sucked. Please tell me this is not part of the genius collection. This was just warmed up garbage. I give it a 3 point...doesn’t even matter what the next number would be. It would be so infinitesimal. I feel good with that score. 😳 So, there you have it. I couldn’t do David’s job, because I would have stopped this and said don’t send me this crap any more. He looked at the intricacies of this thing and said this was good and that was good. No, I need to go cleanse my musical pallet with something, anything of true goodness. I’m out.
